13

Main Conclusions

Much additional Research, Innovation and Political push needed to make Flightpath 2050 intermodality and performance goals a reality.

4hr door to door goal is the opportunity for new innovative services and aviation growth in an intermodal transport environment. Aviation is in a key position to take a leading role in realising the

integrated transport system.

Big technological as well as societal challenges need to be solved to enable future aviation services, infrastructure and system performance.

Maintaining and Extending Industrial Leadership

- The whole European aviation industry is strongly competitive

- Europe maintains leading

edge design, manufacturing and system integration

capabilities and jobs

- Certification and upgrade

processes are fast and cost

effective


WG 2 Competitiveness

• High level EU demonstrators• X-Planes, Demo-airport

• Research facilities and capabilities at National and European level


WG2 Main Conclusions

16

Policy: The EU should ensure a level playing field with the rest of the world for

its (civil and military) aviation industries through the right policies, certification processes, funding and regulations, in close cooperation with the main

stakeholders, so that its aviation industry remains competitive and jobs are

created.

Technology: The EU aviation industry needs to identify and implement novel technologies which enable advanced design, manufacturing, operation, support

and end of life processes, with simulation as a prominent means of certification.

Breakthrough product technologies need to result from the efforts spent in a constantly fed chain of research and innovation activities which are performed

by an EU wide cooperation of all aviation actors.

Innovation: There is a clear need for Europe to plan, organize and fund a series of vehicles as flying demonstrations of innovation. These “X-planes”

would integrate a range of novel technologies in a single experimental platform

to secure the competitive position of European industry. We must find new

ways to leverage resources and skills between academia, research centres and industry in order to quickly and efficiently bring these “breakthrough” innovations to the marketplace for the benefit of the whole aviation sector, from OEMs to MROs.

Protecting the Environment and the Energy Supply

-75% reduction in CO2 emissions

per passenger kilometre to

support the ATAG target, a 90% reduction in NOx emissions, 65% reduction of the perceived noise

approaches to be developed, in parallel to

traditional approaches, with minimum

overall environmental impact being a

major criterion

• Integration concepts at several levels, e.g. :

• Total aircraft energy management and system integration

• Radical propulsion/airframe integration concept

• Co-development of green airport and new aircraft

concepts

• Establish multi stakeholder working bodies around the key

integration concepts to accelerate the development of solutions.

New sustainable “low-carbon” energy will

• Challenge the energy sector to deliver commercial quantities of

affordable sustainable fuel.

• Develop new sources with better conversion efficiency for on

board “secondary power”.

The regulatory and economic framework

should facilitate the implementation of

innovative green solutions

• Certification process/practices must evolve to ease the

introduction of disruptive products and services through more

anticipation and reduced overall cost.

• New market based measures, developed from advances in

climate modelling, should be a source for incentivising innovative

green solutions
